Hargreaves's United future in doubt?!?
Something we may be afraid to even whisper..... Is Hargreaves going to turn out to be another Saha?!
The ominous signs are perhaps there: 16 months already but no light at the end of tunnel, Fergie didn't seem too happy and perhaps even with a slight tinge of disbelief in his undertone about his voluntary withdrawal, fans are anxious to see him in action again and worried sick....
Certainly hope not.
We all know what Hargreaves can do for us and have so far only seen a fraction of his best as according to the player himself, given his fitness problem even though he played some part last season.
But practicality and usefulness wise? Saha II or just a temporary inconvenience?
What... what... do you think?

Owen Hargreaves's Man Utd future in doubt
Owen Hargreaves's future with Manchester United is in doubt after he pulled out of Friday night's Super Cup defeat.
Sir Alex Ferguson, having just sold one seemingly injury-prone player in Louis Saha to Everton, is now concerned that the midfielder he bought 15 months ago from Bayern Munich for £17million may have become another.
England coach Fabio Capello, who travelled to Monaco expecting to see Hargreaves start the game against Zenit St Petersburg, is also a worried man. He had planned to give the United star a crucial holding role during the World Cup qualifying campaign that starts this Saturday against Andorra.
Capello and Ferguson looked poised to go to war last week after the Old Trafford boss declared that even if Hargreaves played in the Principality he would not be fit for international duty - but they now face the same difficult problem.
Ferguson, who expects to unveil Dimitar Berbatov as a £28m capture tomorrow, was unhappy over Hargreaves's decision to drop out in Monaco.
The United boss had believed a course of injections would end 16 months of tendinit is problems in Hargreaves's knee and he admitted: "We need to get him back and we are disappointed. He's been training with the first team for 10 days and there's nothing more we can do. We gave him the right preparation, his training programmes were at the right tempo.
"Everything was done in the right manner to get him back for this game, so that's the disappointment."
